Filosofía de la nueva música

Obra completa 12

The book is essentially composed of two writings in which Adorno exposes the change of function experienced in music towards the second half of the twentieth century, pointing to the internal modifications that musical movements as such suffer from being subordinated to marketed production Of masses, and indicating how certain anthropological shifts in standardized society penetrate to the structure of musical hearing. It is about showing how the violence of the social totality is exercised even in seemingly separate areas such as the musical.
